I wish I could post a pic of my cup. I have a 32 oz mason jar style cup that stays filled with black tea and stevia. Say what you will, it's a hell of a lot better than Naked, Frappe's and McFlurries, all natural and -0- calories. (I'm a recovering diet coke addict, I drank tons diet coke, 3-5 32 oz's a day, now I'm the…

That changed nothing in my life. I want my money back.

Pretty much exactly where I am today.

Couldn't live without protein.

FWIW, I've found that if you weigh the sauce, it's usually way more than what it would be if you measured it. I'm a pretty big fan of sour cream and mayo, yes, those creamy white sauces, and every single time I measure I wind up with less than I do when add them on by weight. Two tbsp of sour cream comes to 30 or 31 grams,…

Did you tape dinner rolls to you nipples?

A1 is so good on a potato with cheese and steak.

I had no idea A1 was -0- kcal?! Get out!

You'll notice it's all women telling you "you have to do it for yourself!" It's a woman thing to want to feel like we are in charge so we made a decision to do something because it was just our own personal whim and no one else was ever taken into consideration. I don't get it, but it's been pretty well studied and part of…

Goldfish, it sounds like you really know your stuff when it comes to health. I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you find a resolution. I'm not a doctor, but I think sometimes our bodies just get tired and won't do what they're supposed too, especially if we've lost weight in the past. I think when you lose a…

May I remind you that everyone who is diagnosed had the disorder before diagnosis? You know what, nothing is going to cause you to sympathize so typing a response is a waste of time. Gluten makes my teeth hurt. It's the most bizarre thing ever, but consistent. I guess it's causing just enough inflammation to hit a nerve or…

How do you dress up to work in a nursing home? You wear scrubs? You don't need a daily make over to give baths and change diapers.

Viking diet! just what I need!

Definitely! I even heard some people in the forums saying that the multi vitamin helped curb hunger craving because they had better macros. Good luck!

Oh, good one! I never even considered drinking more water. I'm going to run and run and run and eat less until I lose some weight. I'm going to work my second job until I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to workout regularly, and do hard workouts, not the lazy workouts. I'm going to say NO! more often, especially to dumb…

Yeah, my first thought was "Is this a psychologist making comments about how gym lay-outs effect people psychologically?" My gym is one of the greatest in the state, but it only cost $10 because I work for the University. If I was an outsider it'd be about $80 per month I think. But I do fall into the the "It's OK if I…

How weird! I searched the title in the search bar before posting this and nothing came up. Oh well, maybe I searched than took my time about reading and posting the article or something because it does appear in the search now.

For a blend with broccoli and cauliflower I LOVE to add Tamari and Nutritional Yeast. So savory and Nutritional Yeast is always a good idea for all the B vitamins.

I don't watch at all, but according to my buddy who works at the DOC Jerry Spring is alive and well and the inmates LOVE IT! My curiosity comes in because I'm trying to research a prospective renter for a property of a family member, and on the lady's FB page it says she was on Jerry Springer! I gotta see this!

I felt that way at first, but then I went to an all women's gym. No self-consciousness was felt at all when I was there. Later I went to an older folks gym (not just older folks, but a lot of them) and no self-consciousness was felt there. Now, I'm in a University gym with the students! I do feel a bit of…

Quit being intimidated by big words.

Yes...!!! I've been having this same issue. Sleeping 12 hours a night. I know it's SAD, I get it every year.

I personally would not put family dinners on the cutting block. I would put my job on the cutting block before the dinners, but I'd put that private school (are you paying for this personal hell?) on the cutting block before any of it. It is not at all uncommon with these busy lives for the 20-30 min we sit at the table…

Mine gets several worksheets (usually math) on Monday that are due by Friday. We usually take an hour or two one night a week (I think it's designed to be done one at a time, but whatever, I knock that junk out) and get it done. She also has reading assignments, but I'm never involved in that, because she can read to…

I wish I'd done more research. In the grocery isle I almost picked up cream of chicken instead, and later today (I made the sauce and assembled crock last night, just popped it in the cooker from the fridge this morning) I found an almost identical recipe with cream of chicken. If he doesn't like it I'll do that in the…

I would add that up until modern times, it wasn't abnormal for generations of families to live together, and for older relatives to die at home. The infant mortality rate was huge, and those deliveries also occurred in the home. So basically, in the old days, everyone lived in a home where someone died.

Sure. I have a really good friend who moved into an apartment after a baby was murdered there. Herself and the landlord did a very thorough space clearing on the entire property and they never had a problem. She even has had a baby of her own there about a year ago, and still no problems. I would consider it a blessing…

2 Ways. Either 1) When I get it to go it's weighed, so I can get a very educated guess at calories based off MFP entries.. 2) When I eat it there and do all you can eat style, just add in 2-3 plates of Chinese buffet entry and be okay with the fact that you just ate 2,000 kcal or more.
